Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for cleaning profiled hard surfaces, especially those coated with zinc silicate or the like, and to compositions suitable for cleaning such surfaces.
- Zinc silicate primers are extensively used throughout industry to coat ferrous metal structures and combat corrosion thereof by acting as a sacrificial anode.
- Examples of such primers typically include compositions formulated with a builder or binder such as a polysiloxane or epoxy resin.
- a builder or binder such as a polysiloxane or epoxy resin.
- primed surfaces are less smooth than the corresponding bare metal. This profiling makes them somewhat difficult to clean which in turn can lead to problems in certain circumstances. For example, when a ship's hold, which has previously contained say a heavy hydrocarbon, is to be used subsequently to transport another cargo, e.g. an alcohol such as methanol, the cleaning cycle can be lengthy and require the entry of humans into a closed, hazardous environment to ensure that cleaning is complete.
- a ship's hold which has previously contained say a heavy hydrocarbon
- another cargo e.g. an alcohol such as methanol
- US 6716804 discloses a three-component cleaning composition comprising an amphoteric surfactant and two different non-ionic surfactants which are ethoxylates of differing water solubilities.
- US 2012/0277140 generally discloses a surfactant system for surface cleaning comprising one or more anionic surfactants and one or more non-ionic surfactants.
- a wide range of candidate surfactants is speculated upon including unspecified EO/PO block copolymers but exemplified are systems in which a combination of two ethoxylate non-ionic surfactants, one of which is water soluble and the other water-insoluble, is also employed.
- an inorganic salt is also included.
- a method of removing contaminants from a profiled hard surface characterised in that it comprises the step of contacting the surface with a cleaning composition comprising (a) from 5 to 50% by weight of an anionic surfactant, (b) from 5 to 50% by weight of a first non-ionic surfactant having the general formula R'-(A0) n -OH wherein R' is C 9 to C 20 alkyl; each AO unit is either -OCH 2 CH 2 - or -OCH 2 CH(CH 3 )- and n is greater than 6 and (c) from 5 to 50% by weight of a second non-ionic surfactant having the general formula, R'-(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n -OH wherein R' is C 9 to C 20 alkyl and n is less than 6; each of said weight percentages being with respect to the total weight of (a), (b) and (c).
- the various surfactants described above may be sourced in water- diluted as opposed to pure form.
- commercially available anionic surfactants typically comprise a 25-40% solution of the active component in water. Since the various weight ranges defined herein are with respect to 100% actives, any dilution effect will need to be taken into account when making up any cleaning composition derived therefrom.
- the density of the individual components are approximately equal to 1 g/cc so that the formulations can alternatively be made up using the same ranges on a volume basis to give substantially the same result.
- the cleaning composition comprises a concentrate suitable for spot cleaning duties.
- it comprises a corresponding diluted form derived from the concentrate by addition of water in one or more steps.
- diluted forms will comprises less than less than 5%, more preferably less than 1%, most preferably less than 0.75% by volume of the concentrate itself.
- the diluted form of the cleaning composition will be one which is prepared directly by mixing water with the three constituent surfactants whose relative proportions are in accordance with the various ranges defined above.
- the pH of the cleaning composition is suitably in the range from 6 to 9 most preferably from 7 to 8.
- the first non-ionic surfactant has a cloud point in the range 50-90, preferably 60-70°C as determined by ASTM D-2024 09 at a 1% by weight level of the surfactant in deionised water and/or the second non-ionic surfactant has a cloud point in the range 30-70, preferably 40-60°C as determined with 5g surfactant in 25g of a 25% butyl diglycol (BDG) aqueous solution.
- BDG butyl diglycol
- the anionic surfactant in the un-ionised, acid form
- the first non-ionic surfactant has a log 10 P value in the range 0.1 to 3
- the second non-ionic surfactant has a logi 0 P value in the range 0.1 to 3.
- logi 0 P means the logarithm of the partition coefficient P for the given component measured with respect to a standard two-phase n-octanol/water system. Further information about this methodology may be found, for example, ion Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 11(3) 1986, pp.251-260.

- first and second non-ionic surfactants comprise from 10 to 45% by weight of the cleaning composition.
- the method of the present invention is generally applicable to the cleaning of all fouled hard surfaces which have become profiled (i.e. roughened) by virtue of use, corrosion or being coated with a corrosion-resistant layer (e.g. a primer). Its use is beneficial where the hard surface includes a profiled, sacrificial coating of zinc silicate or an equivalent and is especially so for cleaning the dirty surfaces of coated stainless or mild steel storage tanks. It can be used to particular advantage to clean the cargo tanks or holds of ships where the space is confined and discharge of the waste cleaning composition is environmentally problematic.
- any method of using the cleaning composition can be employed to effect cleaning although typically it will be brought into contact with the dirty surface using an industrial sprayer assembly which is adapted to collect and recirculate the liquid. If so desired, the surfaces can at the same time be brushed or scrubbed. Thereafter, once a suitable period of cleaning time has elapsed, the cleaned surfaces can be rinsed with clean water and/or a sample of the next cargo to be used.
- the cleaning composition is sprayed onto the dirty surfaces at a temperature of less than 100°C, typically from 60 to 80°C.
- the cleaning composition of the present invention which is designed for industrial as opposed to personal care or household use, is especially suitable for removing contaminants comprising high molecular weight hydrocarbons such as diesel, gas-oil, kerosene, vegetable oils and the like from hard surfaces of the type mentioned above.
- Typical vegetable oils which can be removed with the cleaning compositions of the present invention include palm oil, soya bean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, olive oil, cottonseed oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil along with refined fractions thereof.
- Test panels made of stainless steel or mild steel coated with an industry standard zinc silicate coating were immersed in ultra-low sulphur diesel for a period of three days to simulate the contamination occurring in a cargo tank. After removal and being allowed to drain, the panels were tested in a rig designed to remove as much of the residual diesel adhering to the panel as possible under a standard set of cleaning conditions.
- the cleaning composition was applied to the test panel by means of a sprayer adapted for continuous liquid recycle thereby enabling the contaminated panel surfaces to be continuously contacted with the cleaning composition for a period of 2 hours. During this time, the temperature of the cleaning composition was maintained at 70°C.
- the panels washed with clean water and the residual diesel on the panels determined by immersing the panels in a standard volume of methanol at room temperature for 5 minutes and then measuring the amount of diesel extracted using UV/visible spectroscopy.
- the amount of diesel in the methanol was quantified as an average residual hydrocarbon reading (ARHR) indicative of the effectiveness of the cleaning composition.
- ARHR average residual hydrocarbon reading

- the ARHR reading was 550.

- the ARHR reading was 28.
- the cleaning composition (pH 7-8) was a 0.8% by weight aqueous solution of a cleaning composition concentrate comprising (by volume):
- BioSoft D-40 ® sodium, 2-dodecylbenzene sulphonate surfactant

Thereafter a further 10% by weight water was added to the mixture. The product so obtained was used at a 0.5% dilution level in water. The ARHR reading was 58 (average of two results).
